One thing I liked about The Avengers is all the back story is out of the way. Everybody (except Bruce Banner of course) is comfortable with who they are and not at all bashful about it.

Also like that they are superheroes mostly without secret identities. So none of the nonsense that goes along with that.

This came close once upon a time...

I have no interest in super hero films, but find myself wanting to see The Avengers. Odd.

i have such a lack on interest in super heros, i almost missed Misfits because of the premis. Glad I didn't!

OMG, forgot to mention the X-Men movies!


I never liked comics, and half the super hero movies are bad. I have to wonder why I kinda like the genre.

The form-fitting costumes?

I'm mostly indifferent to the super hero genre, but I'm keen on Joss Whedon, so I'll certainly see The Avengers. (Hmmm, if Buffy counts as a super hero, she's so my fave.)

Along with the rest of humanity, I saw The Avengers over the weekend.

It was good fun on many levels, lot's of explosions, aliens, snappy one liners aplenty, cameos, etc.

I did however miss out on one small issue...
Spoiler:

Was there an actual plot?

From what I remember Loki was planning to bring in an alien horde to demolish the earth so he could obtain the tesserat the jewel of Odin's treasure room, source of unlimited power and all around bad ass artifact.

The same one he stole at the start of the movie and already had control of.
